The first part of the two step integration with Parse.ly tracking, is the
installation of the tracking code. Jump to documentation about the
metadata tag once you have the JavaScript running!

The Parse.ly Tracker is a small piece of JavaScript code that monitors user
actions taken on your site and relays them to the Parse.ly analytics server.

To get started, insert the Parse.ly Tracker in the footer of your website
template. Ideal placement is as the last code block before the closing of the
body tag. If your website uses a templating system, this is usually in the
"footer" template.

Copy and paste the code block above. Notice that there is a configuration
tag (parsely-cfg) which has a data property,
data-parsely-site="##########". You must replace the "##########" with
your own site domain name, e.g. "mysite.com".

This ensures that no matter what host name your Parse.ly tag appears on, all
the traffic data gets aggregated into a single account. You can get a version
of the code that is already customized for your account in the dashboard

Staging site and recommendations

Note: If you intend to also use the Parse.ly recommendations then staging site
should not run the Tracking Code as all tracked pages are scraped for
content and then used in the suggestions.
